Usually olive oil drops are used to soften the impacted wax. Olive oil gets absorbed by wax and gets swollen causing increase in symptoms during initial couple of days. Usually symptoms will settle down quickly. No specific treatment is required
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and treatment if required
